as my world turns – beauty products North America, skincare products

I’m aging. Hell, we all are. If you know me at all, you know I take care of my skin. I go for regular treatments (peels, facials, microdermabrasion) and have even gone ahead with neuromodulators and dermal fillers (feel free to ask me more about that). Like most things worth doing, it’s an investment-true story.

I’m wondering if you are like me and have those days where you need to do a lot of running or even some lounging but may have to go outside. What kind of shoe do you wear on THOSE types of days? Do you suck it up and drag out your boots or running shoes and socks? Do you say screw it and throw your foot into a flat even though you’re in your yoga pants?

Hi all, I haven’t posted in a bit….life has been taking most of my time. So I thought I would fill this space with something constructive. I know on some of the Facebook groups that I belong to, people will ask for new YouTube channels or blogs to read? Well have I got one for you…..

I have been a fan of Julie in DC for a while. Lately I’ve been loving her more….and it’s because of her YouTube channel. Her last 2 videos have been a huge hit and incredibly helpful to me. So I thought I would share-check out her videos on lip contouring (yes that’s a thing) and making your dark eye circles disappear and concealing under the eye.

I highly recommend watching and following along (and no she’s not paying me to say this)!

I find myself getting more and more into fashion when Autumn & Winter roll around. I like the idea of wearing layers and more clothing. It’s never too early for me to start my holiday preparations! Check out the latest in Holiday Chic from Gerry Weber. My favorite is Fireside cozy (but maybe not the winter white pants, as I AM a bit slovenly). What’s your favorite?

Check this new collection out from Bench. I’m loving the sweater dresses….so so right and so necessary as a transition piece. More to come from Bench-even the men’s collection-Stay tuned, you won’t want to miss it!

and some of my favorite pieces:

Aren’t these delectable? So many different options for fall, or for gifting. Love them!

One of my favorite ‘looks’ for my face is what I like to call a ‘heavy lash’ -just very thick, luscious lashes. In the past, I’ve used lash extensions to achieve this and while pleased with the results, was never happy with the maintenance (combing, brushing, not being able to place eye makeup near them, having to be mindful of sweating too much, etc). I am a huge fan of mascara and have SO many different types-fiber, tube, curling, volumizing, lengthening, volumizing AND lengthening.

So when you’re like me and you like a LOT of LASH, taking it all off at the end of the day can be a daunting task. It’s a 2-3 step process that includes multiple products like oils, wipes, creams and a TON of cotton. It’s also a time suck-I am familiar with the 10 minute eye makeup removal process.

Enter in my new BFF from Marcelle-lazy girls, this one’s for you. No more excuses about taking off your makeup at night.

Oh where have you been all my days? This product WORKS and there’s not much more to say….it is truly instant and I love it. I’m more than halfway through the bottle and starting to panic. It doesn’t irritate my eyes, there’s no fragrance. I hold it over my eye for 10 seconds, then wipe. That’s it. Here’s my results after holding a cotton pad over one eye (with the product on the pad):

Can’t say anymore than I have. I adore this product and will use it and use it and use it. When I run out, I’ll buy it again. I suggest you do the same.
